You need to install kernel-package, it contains make-kpkg . I then use make-kpkg clean && fakeroot make-kpkg --us --uc --config menuconfig --revision=freitag.1 --append-to-version -2 --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image modules_image freitag is the name of my machine, and the --append-to-version -2 is counted up so that modules from different compiles end up in different directories. The clean is just in case, your mileage may vary. This creates binary packages for the kernel and every modules package, which I then install, reboot, and presto. Be careful to point to a specific known-to-work kernel as the old one to boot in lilo.conf . The kernel packacke install always moves the /vmlinuz link to /vmlinuz.old, so if you use that one and have two non-working kernel in a row it's time to look for a bootable CD.
